Friday Fave Five & Blog Hop – 6/6/14

If you follow me on instragram @mlev15 you saw the Godiva strawberry and banana skewers with drizzled chocolate the fiance brought me home after his mall trip the other night! So delicious. I of course had to see if any bloggers had posted easy recipes and sure enough found this recipe.

2. Favorite Drink:

Gosh – these fruit infused waters look so refreshing! I am totally going to make some asap!

The fiance and I have our eyes on this entertainment, bar, and wine cart! We just moved into our first place as a couple and he has quite a liquor collection and I have plenty of glasses and a nice martini shaker so it will be a fun and affordable piece to add to the new apartment!

4. Favorite in Fashion:

Somehow I have never owned or worn a maxi dress and I feel like they look so cute and comfy! I am totally getting one this summer. What do you think of this Macy’s striped version?

5. Favorite in Entertainment:

I have no idea how I got hooked on the show Total Divas considering I am not a wrestling fan or anything. But the season finale with Brie and Bryans wedding was so, so sweet!

I think the type of maxi dress you buy depends on your body type. I like the one you chose as it defines the waist, and has wide straps so that wearing your favorite bra won’t be an issue. I wouldn’t wear the horizontal stripes from top to bottom because it emphasizes how wide my hips are I would wear one that was diagonal stripes, or horizontal on top and vertical on bottom. I also prefer an empire waist, but I am pear-shaped.

I’ve never owned a maxi dress either. I love the waist on the one from Macy’s. Stitch Fix is sending me a maxi skirt this month (never had one before), but I’m thinking it’ll be good for summer when I want to look dressier than shorts and a tank, but don’t feel like dressing up.
